Why is dnvr so late w the postgame
The best sentence that was repeatedly said tonight was “Trey Lyles for 3”
Luka with the 60 pt triple double tonight… If anyone takes the MVP from Jokic I hope its him. He is unreal (also only 23)
Ahem…yeah Mike…that is all
Fuckin a! Killing this pig is gonna be so fun tomorrow! Thanks Nuggets
Whatever you think about Malone, he is talking really well at the post game press conference and is clearly proud of the team and everyone who played tonight.
Good to see
Good to hear
The way he is speaking shows that players would want to play for him. Really encouraging.
0 turnovers

Really wish Bones could start pulling some weight. He’s been pretty rough all season.
Damn Adam going doomer already that’s a new one
Amazing win. We had to grind for it, but it’s a showing of a great team. No AG, no Bruce in the second, bricking basically everything in the first quarter and a half, still got out with a win on the road.
Tough games happen, winning so many in a row is never easy. I feel like we figured them our completely, tomorrow should be easier.
Also, Bones has to wake up, he is in his own head right now. CB should be the first guy off the bench always. Vlatko needs minutes with Jok, they just have this connection, and Vlatko is bringing necessary size and defense.
Jamal’s ups and downs inside a single game are crazy, but I think the game is finally starting to slow down for him, especially in the last couple of games. Tonight he played perfectly in the clutch.
Adam drunk on the PGT LOL
Jokic is a top 5 point guard
Fuck yeah went Nuggets
Bones with da [-23.7](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlBZl2laMAAEWvj?format=jpg&name=medium) on/off ?!?!?!?!?!?!
This was one of my favorite wins in recent times. Just having MPJ and Jamal out there carrying the team offensively during the 2nd half was amazing. I missed this kind of stuff so much during the past two seasons. So I won’t shit talk Bone today. Go Nuggets!
Great win. Being a clutch team against a not so clutch team in the final minutes is very apparent. Hopefully Jamal rests tomorrow.
Bones still struggling, but I’m more patient with him than 99% of people here. We tend to forget he’s a 26th pick sophomore, nothing else we can do but just get him reps and watch him work through it. We’re so lucky he has a team around him that can still win inspite of his play of late.
Also shoutout Davon Reed, had some good minutes both offense and defense.
YEAH MIKE
Malone was in his bag tonight
Jamal had a very weird performance. He started off hot in the 1st quarter hitting 2 3s. From then all the way through 3rd quarter he was so mid. His minutes with Bones absolutely sucked major ass (although mostly due to Bones). Hesitant to drive, was getting stopped, bricking midrangers.
Then in the 4th Q he turns the clutch back on and iced the game.
What type of injury did Bruce pick up? Did it look serious?
Placed a bet they would win after the first quarter. Quadrupled my money ($1 to $4). This shit easy
That was so stressful, glad they won!!
Even defending MVPs can have a off night with 20/9/11 FFs
When was the last time we had a Jokic game with 0 TOVs?
His AST/TO ratio is infinity 😤
You guys really got to stfu about Bones.
One thing that’s probably not going to lift him out of this sophomore slump is his fanbase calling him dogshit and saying he should be traded.
Fatter lever
I think this is the first time I’ve watched a game without social media open. It’s pretty good!
Great comeback. The Nuggets once again realise playing defense is pretty cool.
Vlatko with the chain
